Vinelife Church Manchester Podcast

This week Sarah looks at how being sure of our identity is vital for us to be set free and to become more forward in our journey to maturity in how we handle our money.

This week Sarah looks at some of the things that stop us from responding to the call to be a generous people who have firmly decided that we will serve God, and not money.

For City Group Sunday Phil talks about living in community, and how your life is an open letter displaying God's heart for those around us to read.

In Matthew 6:21 Jesus tells us that there's a direct correlation between our heart and our treasure. Saying, "For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also..." In this talk, San challenges the motivation of our hearts, and our attitudes toward giving. Then outlines what a generous lifestyle can look like, as we each take personal responsibility to cultivate new motives of the heart. A...

In Luke 15 Jesus connects us to the deep reality of a good father; a God who meets us on the road of our story and comes running to meet us, love us, restore us and forgive us.

What should our lives look like when it comes to being generous with our money? This week Santino spoke on some principles that we can put into practice from 2 Corinthians 9:6-11. He looked at the principle of sowing and reaping; that generosity is actually a heart issue - what we give comes from the condition of the heart. Santino looked at how God is more than able to provide all we need in all...

This week Sarah looks at what tithing looks like in the new covenant where we not required by the law but empowered by grace to walk in Gods principles and promises.

In the second part of our series, Phil explores how our finances are a fundamental part of living a life of integrity - especially what we choose to do with the “first-fruits”. Placing God at the centre of how use our money is a fundamental part of preparing ourselves to see God move throughout our world!

This week Sarah starts our new series Faithfulness to Fruitfulness and looks at the consistent promises of God to bless his people. In this first part, she challenges us to realise that this goes much further than our bank balance, that it matters for Manchester that we learn to be good stewards of what we have been given.

Phil invites us to embrace the season God has for us, and calls us to be prepared with the right tools for the job!

What do we do when we’re not ruling in life? We look to word of the one who rules over our life! Phil points us to the God who is both promise maker and promise keeper.

On Easter Sunday, Santino invites us to encounter the risen and living Jesus - who once was dead but is now Alive! Check out the video San mentions here: https://youtu.be/Wmx4__dVoyc

This week Sarah looks at how we have been made righteous by Jesus as a free gift of grace, but there is still a high call on each of us to live in that righteousness and become the pure and spotless bride Jesus has paid for.

This week Sarah looks at the greater glory promised to us as the church.

This week, Banning shared with us the significance of living encouraged and how the presence of God and community are key to us living full of courage.

This week, Mark looks at how the message of Haggai can be a blueprint for restoration through the church today.

The story of Haggai gives us great encouragement in our journey of being obedient to all that God is calling us to.

Through Haggai, God spoke to His people and reawakened them to what they were called and destined to do... Build His house, the temple, the place where His presence lived. They had neglected their God-given responsibility and focused on other things. Haggai was sent by God to remind them who they were, what they were about, and to call them back! It's time to build Gods house again!

This week Sarah introduces our new series Haggai and looks at how we take our place in Gods masterplan for everything to find perfection and fulfilment in Jesus.

In the book of Acts we read how Jesus' first followers were filled with a dynamic power to live for Him. (Acts 1:8) They were filled / baptised with the Holy Spirit, just as Jesus had promised. This same promise is for us today! We can receive a dynamic power from God that enables us to live, look and sound like Jesus to everyone around us. Be filled and go on being filled with the Holy Spirit!

Who is the Holy Spirit? This question has baffled and confused many people. In this message, Santino looked at the Holy Spirit being a "He" just as Jesus describes many times in John 16. Also that "He" the Holy Spirit is God! John 4:24 "God is Spirit" This being the case the Holy Spirit is fully and completely divine, just as God the Father and God the Son, and in the same way can be worshipped an...

Who Cares? Discovering that beyond my choice to care for the person or situation in front of me is the full resource of heaven to supernaturally meet the needs that are in front of me.

The process to possess - Learning to walk in faith, obedience, courage and with endurance as we look to take hold of the promises, purpose and plans of God over our lives.

This week Sarah looks at the need to forgive ourselves when we get it wrong and how God's grace forgives and restores us, rather than letting shame and regret keep us from a hope-filled future.

Sarah encourages us that the Gospel is empowered by the Holy Spirit, and we can partner with him to see lives transformed.
